Roasted Asparagus and Onions

• 1 sweet or white onion
• 1 lb of asparagus
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of grated parmesian cheese
• salt
• fresh ground pepper

This meal is a quick one to prepare when you are in a hurry but don't feel like a salad or sandwich. This meal is enough for two hungry people, it is not worth saving as leftovers.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2. Remove the tough bottom portion of the asparagus and 1/4 the onion. Place in a tub of water to soak while the oven comes up to temperature. ~15 minutes.
3. Place the asparagus and onions into a cast iron skillet and drizzle the olive oil over them. Coating the onion and asparagus. Add salt and pepper to the dish.
4. Place the skillet into the oven for 30 minutes.
5. While the asparagus and the onions are roasting, prepare a pasta to go with it. I like fettuccini or linguini.
6. Remove the asparagus and onions from the oven and serve over the pasta. Spoon the juice over the dish and add parmesian cheese. I like this dish with fresh tomato slices.
